Education: African students in the Sub-Saharan Africa will get a very poor education. In countries within Sub-Saharan Africa are not very well developed which means that the education is not very developed. In those countries, there are not many schools with great education. Therefore African students will not get very high quality education. Also in those countries, studying materials such as pencils, pens, notebooks, desks, and books are not plentiful there. This is because most of countries there are very poor and cannot afford them. Students cannot have great education in Sub-Saharan Africa, therefore it's a push factor.

Great number of Population: Sub-Saharan Africa has a lot of people and the population is very large. Having a huge number of people means that the number of people with disease will be high too. 1.9 million people are estimated to have HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV can spread out because it is a virus. Staying in a country with a high rate of people with a virus is very dangerous because the more people around you are affected, the higher chance that you will get the virus. Therefore a great number of population and virus is a very dangerous and significant push factor.
Climate: Climate of Sub-Saharan Africa is very humid and hot during the whole year. Also there are a lot of direct sunlight there. This will cause problems because foreigners visiting a warm place and getting too much sunlight suddenly, will worsen people's health. Getting enough sunlight is important however also getting too much is bad for people's health. Also the climate will affect the farming system. If you are farmer, it is good to stay away from Sub-Saharan Africa because too much sunlight is not good for crops and therefore, the harvest wouldn't be very good.
Pull factors to Sub-Saharan Africa
People: African people are known to be the brightest and the most friendly people out of all races. This is a
pull factor because a foreigner in a foreign country are not treated very well. Such as in Korea, whenever a foreigner rides the subway or walks down the street, people around them look at them with a weird look. This is unpleasant for the foreigners because they will think they are being differed from everyone. In Sub-Saharan Africa, people are all nice to each other. This is great because it is nice to be with friendly people rather than evil people.
Developing: Sub-Saharan Africa and the whole continent, Africa, is the most progressive continent in the world. More jobs are being created, better e ducations, and the economy is progressing at the moment. Therefore it would be better if we live in a developing country rather than a stable country because we don't know what is going to happen and great things might happen while in a stable country, everything would be same every year.
Production: Most of the famous cars such as BMW's factories are located in South Africa which is in Sub-Saharan Africa. Also there are a lot of factories due to the reason that there is a large amount of space. This is a positive thing for us because there would be more jobs available. More factories means more jobs, which is a positive thing. Therefore Production of Sub-Saharan Africa is a pull factor.

Water/Resources: South Africa, which is a significant country of the Sub-Saharan Africa, is one of the 12 countries that we are able to drink water out of the tab. Tab water is usually used for giving water to plants, washing dishes, and etc. However in South Africa, the tab water is as clean as normal water, making it able for people to drink it right out from the tab. This shows that resources in Sub-Saharan Africa is plentiful for people which is a pull factor.
Movements from Sub-Saharan Africa to other countries
Most of the countries within Sub-Saharan Africa are very poor. Not many people are rich enough to have a nice house.

There are many homeless people wandering the streets in Sub-Saharan Africa. For this reason, many people are sent from there to another country for forced labor. Majority people who are sent are woman and children because of sexual labor and child labor. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest incidents of child labor and sexual labor. Women from different parts of Sub-Saharan Africa are sent to countries such as different parts of Europe and also America. Per year, almost 5700 women are sent to another country for sexual labor. Women are sent to countries in Europe for prostitution. Some of them work as maids but most are taken for sexual activities. Labor makes people in Sub-Saharan Africa to move because people are sent to another countries to work.
Child labor is another humongous issue within the Sub-Saharan Africa. Some of them are taken to other countries to work as slaves but most of them are also used as a sex slave. Children that work as slaves will have to do whatever the master tells them to do. Most of the works they do are things such as cleaning the house, washing dishes, and also some agricultural work. Sex slaves are used for sexual activities. They are not prostitution because the definition of prostitution states that doing sexual activities with someone with payment. Sex slaves do not get paid and they are hardly beaten and forced to have sexual activities with the master. Many of the sex slaves are killed due to AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. Children are taken from Sub-Saharan Africa to different parts of the world, for labor.
People move out of Sub-Saharan African countries because more people is dying because of starvation, dry climate and diseases. Not a lot of food and vegetation is found in countries within Sub-Saharan Africa. For this reason many people will die because of starvation because they cannot find food to eat. Also the average temperature in Sub-Saharan Africa is almost 46 degrees Celsius during the summer time. This hot and dry climate will damage the skin of African people and therefore many move to another countries. Also HIV/AIDS is a very significant issue right now in Sub-Saharan Africa. Almost 61% of the whole population of Sub-Saharan Africa is found to be infected by HIV/AIDS. This makes people move out from Sub-Saharan Africa and try to go to different countries.
